Jiuwushan Hike?
if you start from the Zhongpu trailhead near Songshan Fengtian Temple its way more relaxed, mostly flat with a few steps. takes maybe 30 min to a viewpoint and theres barely anyone there on weekdays
the trail from zhishanyan over to jiuwushan is pretty chill, like 40 min one way with decent views of the city. theres a temple at the start too so u can take ur time
honestly the loop around Liuzhangli is pretty overlooked, you can hop off at Linguang station and walk up. its like 20 min of gentle incline to a little clearing with a solid view of Taipei 101, no scrambling at all
Seeking recommendations for facial or massage treatments targeting jaw tension and TMJ issues
For muscle-based jaw tightness, the traditional 推拿 places often do better than the fancy facial spas, and they're cheaper. There's a small 國術館 near Shuanglian I go to for neck and jaw stuff, the guy works the masseter from outside and does traction on the cervical spine, which is where a lot of referred jaw tension actually starts. Around NT$800 for 40 minutes, no booking app, you just walk in. It won't fix a real joint problem but if your issue is muscular clenching it's worth a try.
if its actual tmj stuff and not just cosmetic face massage, go see a dentist who does 咬合板 (occlusal splint) first, the massage places treat the symptom not the joint. dr chen at a clinic off fuxing south road near daan park sorted my clicking in like 3 visits, mostly by adjusting my bite & giving me a night guard. the relief from that lasted way longer than any spa facial i tried
my physio at a small clinic near Liuzhangli MRT did intraoral work on my masseter and pterygoid muscles, basically gloved finger inside the cheek releasing trigger points. weird at first but it fixed the morning headaches within maybe 4 sessions. its not a spa thing at all, its rehab, so book it as a medical visit. 針灸 also helped me, the needles go in the jaw and temple, but the physio did more for the actual tightness.
